There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

Pathfinder casters will never be the same, and neither will Rob and Ryan as they take in the full mystical force of Impossible Magic. Paizo designer Joshua Birdsong has hinted at the greatness of the new spellcasting options in Impossible Magic. Now he can reveal every secret locked within.

Friends, Ivis is one of the Paizo folks who was laid off along with me. She's a fantastic human who's had an incredibly bad run of luck. The medical bills are mounting. If you're in a position to do so, donating or boosting would mean a lot to a whole lotta folks, including me.

Things aren't good y'all - early this week my infected hand started going south. Today I saw my doctor and he said its septic. Now I'm in the hospital for round 2 of IV antibiotics, testing, and surgery. So, if you can help keep the beacons lit, I'd appreciate it. www.gofundme.com/f/help-ivis-...

Last week the PF2e/SF2e system for Foundry VTT was nominated for an ENNIE award! Voting opens on July 10th, and we're thrilled to have been nominated! ennie-awards.com/2026-nominees/

Listen. If you’re mad about… Haley Stevens (MI) voting for $3.3B for Israel’s genocide. —> Replace her with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed for Senate. Angie Craig (MN) voting for $3.3B for Israel’s genocide. —> Replace her with LG Peggy Flanagan for Senate. 1/3

The PF2e/SF2e systems for Foundry VTT are not, and will not be, affected by the end of the Paizo-AoN partnership. As long as our awesome volunteers are willing to maintain the systems that have been such a boon to our community, we will continue supplying them with the resources they need to do so.

Paizo fans, #ttrpg enthusiasts, union supporters. We need to build a LOT more energy for our laid-off United Paizo Workers members’ crowdfunders. Both of the two people crowdfunding are in Indiana where the safety net is nonexistent, healthcare is through the roof, and options are limited. 🧵

Voting is now open! vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/

*Long sigh*

By law, Indiana caps unemployment benefits at $390 / week. I just found out that COBRA will cost me $1,526.05 / month to cover both me + spouse. And then there’s rent, meds, utilities, food … Definitely looks like crowdfunding will need to happen while I continue the job search. 😣

Lynne M. Meyer | coffee-fueled and available for hire@lynnemeyer.bsky.social · last mo.

As the job search continues, I'm doing some math. My severance covers only three weeks of income; my insurance ends July 31. Though my spouse's job was supposed to transition to full-time, it hasn't yet, and when it does, we don't know if he'll get benefits. Would folks support a GFM if I made one?

Not surprising, as she's never excelled in the water

Mina the Hollower is fun and all, but the decision to put giant kittens in the UI is quite odd. Very distracting.
